Photo of the day: Prague…home sweet home!

I have been blessed to call this spectacular city my “home” since July 2011!

I still have to pinch myself to believe that I live in Prague! Can you see St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague Castle in the top right of the photograph? I see that out of our bedroom windows every day, from the other direction! Ordinary errands, like going to the dentist yesterday, are surreal. I picked Nate up from school, took a bus to the metro, went by metro to Staromestka in the Old Town, then hopped a tram which took us along the Vltava River with stunning views of the castle as we passed by Charles Bridge. We got off at our stop along the river, and walked five minutes to the dentist’s office, past a beautiful 400+ year old church in a neighborhood with incredible architecture. It was an evening appointment, so after the check up we took a tram home through the city as all the lights were coming on. Prague is truly lovely…you really must put it on your bucket list!

Your life sounds interesting! My boyfriend would like us to relocate to Prague. (I am American, from Missouri; and he is Czech but not from Prague.) I would like to as well, but I spent a year in Austria and another year in Brno, Czech Republic, so having seen the beauty of both those countries I’m obviously split. If I do go to Prague though, I think the only thing I could do for the first few years is teach English and I’m not sure what else afterward.

Hi Nikki! I had a look at your blog and it looks like you have quite a few ties with the Czech Republic! I’m all for trying a new adventure, especially while you are young and don’t have major commitments. I teach English here; it’s fun, but more of a part time income. Carpe diem:)

We don’t live in the city center; we are just a ten minute bus ride away in a quiet neighborhood. We are away in other parts of Europe during the summer, when Prague is most crowded…so Prague’s crowds don’t bother us! Then we join the crowds in some other part of Europe, and annoy the locals:)
